My Style

My style is relaxed and easy going with an effort towards not having to rely too heavily on props and poses. My goal is to capture who you are, not just a reflection of what you look like. I want each portrait to capture your personality.

I prefer to work with natural light during the summer months or whenever possible but must also rely on indoor lighting equipment with the coming of winter.

All photographs are taken in color, though all my work is presented in black and white. Should you desire color or sepia portraits as well as black and white with your set of proofs, please be sure to specify this when you make your appointment.

Booking a session

Once you have decided to book your session with Antonia Smith Photography, you will need to contact me to set up your Portrait Session date. At this time we will have a phone consultation to discuss, in detail, what your goals are for your session and what you can expect. This will help me to understand what is most important to you and your family.
We will go over location, clothing suggestions, sentimental objects you may want to use from home and what the overall result you want to achieve with your portrait.
Session fees are due upon booking your appointment in order that your date may be reserved. Check the pricing page for details.

Locations

There are many beautiful locations in the area that I can suggest, or you can suggest some of your own. Please note that on-location sessions are scheduled for weekends only.
One of my favorite locations for families is their own home. We are able to move freely between indoors and outdoors, and often times environmental backdrops are the best. Winter is no exception.
Indoor sessions are also available in my home. This allows me to have the available equipment that is needed for those times when outdoor portraits are not possible or lighting situations are not ideal.

Maternity and Newborn Sessions

Time-sensitive sessions such as Maternity and Newborns should be scheduled well in advance to ensure an available date. I suggest booking these sessions at least 6 weeks in advance. I suggest Maternity Portraits to be timed around the 34th -36th week. This ensures that we can capture that beautiful glow, your new curves, and the emotional anticipation of the final weeks.
Newborn Sessions should be booked before your baby is 4 weeks old. Babies older than this tend to lose those newborn qualities I strive to capture ~ the tiny wrinkles, the lines around the eyes, and the ability to fold into impossible positions. These are the moments that I want to help you preserve and remember.

Post-Session Information

Once we have finished your session, the exciting work of choosing and editing your final proofs begins. Approximately two weeks from your session date, I will provide you with an online gallery of your proofs. This will allow you to view your session images several days before your Ordering Session. You may share your gallery with anyone you choose, and even take orders from family that may want portraits as well (all orders taken will count towards your total print order, and towards earning your beautiful, hardcover Album!). At your Ordering Session we will go over your order, and answer any questions you may have. Full payment is due before the order can be placed, and can be paid by check. Your prints will arrive approximately two weeks after your order has been placed. Once they arrive, I will call to set up a time to deliver your prints!

Cancellations

The Session Fee is due upon booking your session date, and is non-refundable. If you need to cancel or reschedule your session, please give as much notice as possible so that I may offer the date to another client. Rescheduled appointments must be held within a month of the original session date to avoid any additional fees.
